STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- As he looks to take the reins as Staten Island's 15th borough president, Republican James Oddo will tap GOP County Clerk Stephen Fiala to serve as the head of his Borough Hall transition team.

In his first official act as borough president-elect, Oddo is slated to make a formal announcement, with further details about the transition, at a press conference at his New Dorp campaign headquarters on Wednesday afternoon.

As part of the transition, Fiala will oversee efforts that will include
analyzing the infrastructure of the borough president's office and
making recommendations regarding office and staffing structure.
